I have stayed for 10 days at Kanda and it has been very interesting to live with a local family in Uttarakhand. Kanda is a beautiful place and the trekking in the area was wonderful. Also helping the community by teaching their childeren was great. The family and local people were very friendly. They invented me at a wedding and it was a unique experience. Staying at ROSE Kanda has been great to experience India in a more authentic way.

It was my first time volunteering. Before I was travelling in India with my dad for two weeks, so the difference between those two was very big and unfortunately I was very tired because of that. The difference made me also feel a little homesick and all together I became sick the first 3 days, having fever, coughing, cold etc. The family took care of me very well! They were bringing me tea, water, food and medicines. After three days only some coughing was left and I went outside, but still I wanted to take it slow because of my tiredness. They introduced me to a ceremony at their lovely temple. The rest of days I could help with some washing, teaching and playing with the children. I also decided to donate a sewing machine, something that could be very useful for all the damaged clothes of the Kanda children and for making new clothes. I would have loved to help with more such as farming, fieldwork and building projects. Unfortunately I was the only volunteer at the moment, so there was no chance to start a small project.
I hope many more volunteers will come here and give the community more body.
